Are Dorking chicks less hardy than other chicks?

I have 3 Dorkings out of a mixed flock of 15. They are my friendliest and most outgoing birds. I've not had any health issues with them at all (and I did lose 2 other young birds to a mystery illness which all the birds came down with, but 15 out of 17 recovered). I have faverolles too and have not noticed the 5th toes being a problem at all, but after reading this, I'll watch for the claw getting too long. I love my Dorkings!

P.S. my profile pic is my most friendly Dorking, Shaka. She follows me everywhere, has been known to wander into the house alone and find you to say hello, and is always trying to get into my car!
